Definitions
- Embodiments described herein relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods the treatment of wounds, for example using dressings in combination with negative pressure wound therapy.
- Negative pressure wound therapy systems currently known in the art commonly involve placing a cover that is impermeable or semi-permeable to fluids over the wound, using various means to seal the cover to the tissue of the patient surrounding the wound, and connecting a source of negative pressure (such as a vacuum pump) to the cover in a manner so that negative pressure is created and maintained under the cover.
- a source of negative pressure such as a vacuum pump
- wound dressings are known for aiding in NPWT systems. These different types of wound dressings include many different types of materials and layers, for example, gauze, pads, foam pads or multi-layer wound dressings.
- a multi-layer wound dressing is the PICO dressing, available from Smith & Nephew, which includes a superabsorbent layer beneath a backing layer to provide a canister-less system for treating a wound with NPWT.
- the wound dressing may be sealed to a suction port providing connection to a length of tubing, which may be used to pump fluid out of the dressing and/or to transmit negative pressure from a pump to the wound dressing.
- Prior art dressings for use in negative pressure such as those described above have included a negative pressure source located in a remote location from the wound dressing. Negative pressure sources located remote from the wound dressing have to be held by or attached to the user or other pump support mechanism. Additionally, a tubing or connector is required to connect the remote negative pressure source to the wound dressing. The remote pump and tubing can be cumbersome and difficult to hide in or attach to patient clothing. Depending on the location of the wound dressing, it can be difficult to comfortably and conveniently position the remote pump and tubing. When used, wound exudate may soak into the dressing, and the moisture from the wound has made it difficult to incorporate electronic components into the dressing.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for wound treatment.
- Some of the wound treatment apparatuses described herein comprise a negative pressure source or a pump system for providing negative pressure to a wound.
- Wound treatment apparatuses may also comprise wound dressings that may be used in combination with the negative pressure sources and pump assemblies described herein.
- a negative pressure source is incorporated into a wound dressing apparatus so that the wound dressing and the negative pressure source are part of an integral or integrated wound dressing structure that applies the wound dressing and the negative pressure source simultaneously to a patient's wound.
- the negative pressure source and/or electronic components may be positioned between a wound contact layer and a cover layer of the wound dressing.
- An electronics assembly can be incorporated into the absorbent material of the dressing to prevent pooling of wound exudate and maintain conformability of the dressing.
- a wound dressing apparatus can comprise a wound contact layer, the wound contact layer can comprise a proximal wound- facing face and a distal face, wherein the proximal wound-facing face is configured to be positioned in contact with a wound, a spacer layer comprising a proximal wound-facing face and a distal face, the spacer layer positioned over the distal face of the wound contact layer, an absorbent layer positioned on the distal face of the spacer layer, an electronics unit comprising a negative pressure source and/or electronic components, wherein the absorbent layer comprises a recess configured to receive the electronics unit and the absorbent layer is configured to be in fluid communication with the electronics unit and a cover layer configured to cover and form a seal over the wound contact layer, the spacer layer, the absorbent layer, and the electronics unit.
- the wound dressing apparatus of the preceding paragraph or in other embodiments can include one or more of the following features.
- the electronic components can comprise one or more of a power source, a flexible circuit board, a sensor, a switch, and/or a light or LED indicator.
- the wound dressing further can comprise a negative pressure source inlet protection mechanism and a negative pressure source outlet or exhaust.
- the negative pressure source outlet or exhaust can comprises an antibacterial membrane and/or a non-return valve.
- the cover layer can comprise an aperture over the outlet or exhaust.
- the negative pressure source inlet protection mechanism can comprise a hydrophobic material configured to prevent fluid from entering the negative pressure source.

- Embodiments disclosed herein relate to apparatuses and methods of treating a wound with reduced pressure, including a source of negative pressure and wound dressing components and apparatuses.
- the apparatuses and components comprising the wound overlay and packing materials, if any, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as dressings.
- wound is to be broadly construed and encompasses open and closed wounds in which skin is torn, cut or punctured or where trauma causes a contusion, or any other superficial or other conditions or imperfections on the skin of a patient or otherwise that benefit from reduced pressure treatment.
- a wound is thus broadly defined as any damaged region of tissue where fluid may or may not be produced.
- wounds include, but are not limited to, abdominal wounds or other large or incisional wounds, either as a result of surgery, trauma, sterniotomies, fasciotomies, or other conditions, dehisced wounds, acute wounds, chronic wounds, subacute and dehisced wounds, traumatic wounds, flaps and skin grafts, lacerations, abrasions, contusions, bums, diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, stoma, surgical wounds, trauma and venous ulcers or the like.
- TNP topical negative pressure
- negative pressure wound therapy assists in the closure and healing of many forms of "hard to heal” wounds by reducing tissue oedema; encouraging blood flow and granular tissue formation; removing excess exudate and may reduce bacterial load (and thus infection risk).
- the therapy allows for less disturbance of a wound leading to more rapid healing.
- TNP therapy systems may also assist on the healing of surgically closed wounds by removing fluid and by helping to stabilize the tissue in the apposed position of closure.
- a further beneficial use of TNP therapy can be found in grafts and flaps where removal of excess fluid is important and close proximity of the graft to tissue is required in order to ensure tissue viability.
- reduced or negative pressure levels represent pressure levels relative to normal ambient atmospheric pressure, which can correspond to 760 mmHg (or 1 atm, 29.93 inHg, 101.325 kPa, 14.696 psi, etc.).
- a negative pressure value of -X mmHg reflects absolute pressure that is X mmHg below 760 mmHg or, in other words, an absolute pressure of (760-X) mmHg.
- negative pressure that is "less” or "smaller” than X mmHg corresponds to pressure that is closer to atmospheric pressure (e.g. ,-40 mmHg is less than -60 mmHg).
- Negative pressure that is "more” or “greater” than -X mmHg corresponds to pressure that is further from atmospheric pressure (e.g., -80 mmHg is more than -60 mmHg).
- local ambient atmospheric pressure is used as a reference point, and such local atmospheric pressure may not necessarily be, for example, 760 mmHg.
- the negative pressure range for some embodiments of the present disclosure can be approximately -80 mmHg, or between about -20 mmHg and -200 mmHg. Note that these pressures are relative to normal ambient atmospheric pressure, which can be 760 mmHg. Thus, -200 mmHg would be about 560 mmHg in practical terms.
- the pressure range can be between about -40 mmHg and -150 mmHg.
- a pressure range of up to -75 mmHg, up to -80 mmHg or over -80 mmHg can be used.
- a pressure range of below -75 mmHg can be used.
- a pressure range of over approximately -100 mmHg, or even -150 mmHg can be supplied by the negative pressure apparatus.
- increased wound contraction can lead to increased tissue expansion in the surrounding wound tissue.
- This effect may be increased by varying the force applied to the tissue, for example by varying the negative pressure applied to the wound over time, possibly in conjunction with increased tensile forces applied to the wound via embodiments of the wound closure devices.
- negative pressure may be varied over time for example using a sinusoidal wave, square wave, and/or in synchronization with one or more patient physiological indices (e.g., heartbeat). Examples of such applications where additional disclosure relating to the preceding may be found include U.S. Patent No. 8,235,955, titled "Wound treatment apparatus and method," issued on August 7, 2012; and U.S. Patent No. 7,753,894, titled "Wound cleansing apparatus with stress,” issued July 13, 2010. The disclosures of both of these patents are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

- the wound contact layer can be configured to be in contact with the wound.
- the wound contact layer can include an adhesive on the patient facing side for securing the dressing to the surrounding skin or on the top side for securing the wound contact layer to a cover layer or other layer of the dressing.
- the wound contact layer can be configured to provide unidirectional flow so as to facilitate removal of exudate from the wound while blocking or substantially preventing exudate from returning to the wound.
- the wound contact layer 110 can be a polyurethane layer or polyethylene layer or other flexible layer which is perforated, for example via a hot pin process, laser ablation process, ultrasound process or in some other way or otherwise made permeable to liquid and gas.
- the wound contact layer 110 has a lower surface and an upper surface.
- the perforations preferably comprise through holes in the wound contact layer 1 10 which enable fluid to flow through the layer 110.
- the wound contact layer 110 helps prevent tissue ingrowth into the other material of the wound dressing.
- the perforations are small enough to meet this requirement while still allowing fluid to flow therethrough.
- the wound contact layer 110 may help maintain the integrity of the entire dressing 100 while also creating an air tight seal around the absorbent pad in order to maintain negative pressure at the wound.
- Some embodiments of the wound contact layer 110 may also act as a carrier for an optional lower and upper adhesive layer (not shown).
- a lower pressure sensitive adhesive may be provided on the lower surface of the wound dressing 100 whilst an upper pressure sensitive adhesive layer may be provided on the upper surface of the wound contact layer.
- the pressure sensitive adhesive which may be a silicone, hot melt, hydrocolloid or acrylic based adhesive or other such adhesives, may be formed on both sides or optionally on a selected one or none of the sides of the wound contact layer. When a lower pressure sensitive adhesive layer is utilized it may be helpful to adhere the wound dressing 100 to the skin around a wound site.
- the wound contact layer may comprise perforated polyurethane film.
- the lower surface of the film may be provided with a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive and the upper surface may be provided with an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive, which may help the dressing maintain its integrity.
- a polyurethane film layer may be provided with an adhesive layer on both its upper surface and lower surface, and all three layers may be perforated together.
- a layer 1 11 of porous or transmission material can be located above the wound contact layer 1 10.
- porous material, spacer, and/or transmission layer can be used interchangeably to refer to the layer of material in the dressing configured to distribute negative pressure throughout the wound area.
- This porous layer, or transmission layer, 1 11 allows transmission of fluid including liquid and gas away from a wound site into upper layers of the wound dressing.
- the transmission layer 11 1 preferably ensures that an open air channel can be maintained to communicate negative pressure over the wound area even when the absorbent layer has absorbed substantial amounts of exudates.
- the layer 111 should preferably remain open under the typical pressures that will be applied during negative pressure wound therapy as described above, so that the whole wound site sees an equalized negative pressure.
- the layer 11 1 may be formed of a material having a three dimensional structure. For example, a knitted or woven spacer fabric (for example Baltex 7970 weft knitted polyester) or a non-woven fabric could be used.
- the transmission layer assists in distributing negative pressure over the wound site and facilitating transport of wound exudate and fluids into the wound dressing.
- the transmission layer can be formed at least partially from a three dimensional (3D) fabric.
- the transmission layer 1 1 1 comprises a 3D polyester spacer fabric layer including a top layer (that is to say, a layer distal from the wound-bed in use) which is a 84/144 textured polyester, and a bottom layer (that is to say, a layer which lies proximate to the wound bed in use) which is a 10 denier flat polyester and a third layer formed sandwiched between these two layers which is a region defined by a knitted polyester viscose, cellulose or the like monofilament fiber. Other materials and other linear mass densities of fiber could of course be used.
- top spacer fabric thus has more filaments in a yarn used to form it than the number of filaments making up the yarn used to form the bottom spacer fabric layer.
- This differential between filament counts in the spaced apart layers helps control moisture flow across the transmission layer. Particularly, by having a filament count greater in the top layer, that is to say, the top layer is made from a yarn having more filaments than the yarn used in the bottom layer, liquid tends to be wicked along the top layer more than the bottom layer. In use, this differential tends to draw liquid away from the wound bed and into a central region of the dressing where the absorbent layer 1 12 helps lock the liquid away or itself wicks the liquid onwards towards the cover layer 1 13 where it can be transpired.
- the 3D fabric may be treated with a dry cleaning agent (such as, but not limited to, Perchloro Ethylene) to help remove any manufacturing products such as mineral oils, fats or waxes used previously which might interfere with the hydrophilic capabilities of the transmission layer.
- a dry cleaning agent such as, but not limited to, Perchloro Ethylene
- an additional manufacturing step can subsequently be carried in which the 3D spacer fabric is washed in a hydrophilic agent (such as, but not limited to, Feran Ice 30g/l available from the Rudolph Group). This process step helps ensure that the surface tension on the materials is so low that liquid such as water can enter the fabric as soon as it contacts the 3D knit fabric. This also aids in controlling the flow of the liquid insult component of any exudates.
- an absorbent layer (such as layer 1 12) for absorbing and retaining exudate aspirated from the wound can be utilized.
- a superabsorbent material can be used in the absorbent layer 112.
- the absorbent includes a shaped form of a superabsorber layer.
- a layer 112 of absorbent material is provided above the transmission layer 11 1.
- the absorbent material which comprise a foam or non- woven natural or synthetic material, and which may optionally comprise a super-absorbent material, forms a reservoir for fluid, particularly liquid, removed from the wound site.
- the layer 1 11 may also aid in drawing fluids towards the cover layer 113.
- the material of the absorbent layer 1 12 may also prevent liquid collected in the wound dressing from flowing freely within the dressing, and preferably acts so as to contain any liquid collected within the dressing.
- the absorbent layer 1 12 also helps distribute fluid throughout the layer via a wicking action so that fluid is drawn from the wound site and stored throughout the absorbent layer. This helps prevent agglomeration in areas of the absorbent layer.
- the capacity of the absorbent material must be sufficient to manage the exudates flow rate of a wound when negative pressure is applied. Since in use the absorbent layer experiences negative pressures the material of the absorbent layer is chosen to absorb liquid under such circumstances. A number of materials exist that are able to absorb liquid when under negative pressure, for example superabsorber material.
- the absorbent layer 1 12 may typically be manufactured from ALLEVYNTM foam, Freudenberg 1 14-224-4 or Chem- PositeTMl lC-450.
- the absorbent layer 112 may comprise a composite comprising superabsorbent powder, fibrous material such as cellulose, and bonding fibers.
- the composite is an airlaid, thermally-bonded composite.
- the absorbent layer 1 12 is a layer of non-woven cellulose fibers having super-absorbent material in the form of dry particles dispersed throughout.
- Use of the cellulose fibers introduces fast wicking elements which help quickly and evenly distribute liquid taken up by the dressing.
- the juxtaposition of multiple strand-like fibers leads to strong capillary action in the fibrous pad which helps distribute liquid.
- the super-absorbent material is efficiently supplied with liquid.
- the wicking action also assists in bringing liquid into contact with the upper cover layer to aid increase transpiration rates of the dressing.
- cover layer and/or backing layer can be used interchangeably to refer to the layer of material in the dressing configured to cover the underlying dressing layers and seal to the wound contact layer and/or the skin surrounding the wound.
- the cover layer can include a moisture vapor permeable material that prevents liquid exudate removed from the wound and other liquids from passing through, while allowing gases through.
- the cover layer 113 is preferably gas impermeable, but moisture vapor permeable, and can extend across the width of the wound dressing 100.
- the cover layer 1 13, which may for example be a polyurethane film (for example, Elastollan SP9109) having a pressure sensitive adhesive on one side, is impermeable to gas and this layer thus operates to cover the wound and to seal a wound cavity over which the wound dressing is placed. In this way an effective chamber is made between the cover layer 113 and a wound site where a negative pressure can be established.
- the cover layer 1 13 is preferably sealed to the wound contact layer 110 in a border region around the circumference of the dressing, ensuring that no air is drawn in through the border area, for example via adhesive or welding techniques.
- the cover layer 1 13 protects the wound from external bacterial contamination (bacterial barrier) and allows liquid from wound exudates to be transferred through the layer and evaporated from the film outer surface.
- the cover layer 113 preferably comprises two layers; a polyurethane film and an adhesive pattern spread onto the film.
- the polyurethane film is preferably moisture vapor permeable and may be manufactured from a material that has an increased water transmission rate when wet.
- the moisture vapor permeability of the cover layer increases when the cover layer becomes wet.
- the moisture vapor permeability of the wet cover layer may be up to about ten times more than the moisture vapor permeability of the dry cover layer.
